Reviews and Ratings
Our stay was decent, but not without its downsides. The location by the water was beautiful and the beach had amazing tidal pools for kids during low tide. However, the cleanliness of the room left something to be desired, and the check-out process was frustrating due to long lines. While the cabana area is quite charming, it also sacrifices privacy since the cabins are closely packed. Overall, there are definitely better options out there for a return visit.
Our family had a lovely weekend getaway in a cabin surrounded by woods, which was very peaceful. The Grotto spa was definitely a highlight, allowing us some well-deserved relaxation away from the kids. However, the cabin had issues with smoke from the log fire, clouding our experience a bit. Dining was enjoyable, but the pizza could use more sauce to enhance the flavor. Overall, a pretty relaxing experience despite a few hiccups.
My stay at the resort was overall pleasant, with beautiful grounds and great accommodations. However, communication regarding discounts was lacking, which was a letdown. The cabin I stayed in was spacious and had fantastic amenities, making it a cozy retreat. On the downside, the dining options at the resort were limited, and some areas felt a bit dated, particularly the spa facilities.
My stay at the spa resort was a mixed experience. The room was clean and spacious, and I really enjoyed the tranquility of the surroundings. The spa facilities were warm and inviting, and the dining at Cedar’s was delightful, with quality food and great service. However, there were some downsides, like limited activities during the off-season and issues with room service and hygiene supplies that detracted from the overall experience.
